7. The Bayeux Tapestry is actually an embroidery.
This work of art is the first manuscript of the
collections held at the municipal library of the city
of Bayeux, located in Normandy, France.
The Tapestry is a historical account, but also an
essential source of information on the way of life
in the Middle Ages in general, and the 11th
century in particular: it is therefore a documentary
record which employs particular narrative
techniques and makes use of symbolism, as do
many literary and artistic works of the
Romanesque period. It is a unique work: there is
no other similar document to compare it with. It
retains to this day an element of mystery, and
several questions have not yet been fully
answered.
The truly exceptional character of the Tapestry
also lies in its size: it is 68.80 metres long, 50
centimetres high, and weighs close to 350
kilograms (original cloth and lining). For this
reason, it needs to be exhibited in a very specific
way.

8. Why are their myths and legends of weavers?
“Those who spun for Athena were the Moirae (the Fates).
The Moirae spun, measured, and cut the thread of human
lives. They were often personified as three ugly and
sometimes lame old women.”
